HM2 - Miner

Description
This is a mid game dedicated mining HV based upon 2 large mechanical drills. It includes full life support and can be upgraded with shields, however it is not armed at all. Being a dedicated miner, it only has an ore storage controller.
It can fit through a 5x3 hangar door and so can be parked inside most small starter CVs. Being based upon large drills, then it bores a huge tunnel. This also means it can easily turn within its own tunnel.

I suggest adjust mining height to 1.5m - 2m while drilling in drill mode to be at the ideal height for large drills. Also when levelling out from the initial drill downward, do so slowly - this will make it easier. If you are not used to large drills, they can take a little getting used to, that said, this is the easiest to use large drill HV I have managed to construct and is now my main mid and late game dedicated miner.

Features:
- Tier 2, Level 10 Unlock for Alpha 12.3 2893 (Unlikely to be CPU compliant for 11.5 and will exceed limits).
- Harvest Controller with 16K storage
- Clone chamber, O2 station, Fridge, Locker, Medical Station
- Wireless, Detector
- Drone hatch
- Front pad to dock with SX2 - Eagle SV

Marked Upgrade locations for:
- Pentaxid tank
- T3 CPU extenders
- Shield (behind medical station).
- Constructor (below medical station).

if it getting stuck, then maybe you are drilling too fast and/or have the height wrong. Use drill mode. The large drills have a wierd cut and if you drill too fast they miss bits. You can see in one of the images that the normal cut out is huge compared to the vessel.

I've tried this model, but it often gets stuck while you dig the tunnel, on the sides and you have to go down to free it.

Hey, can i make a another version of your hover miner? I like your vehicle so much, but have more ideas to "upgrade" this.
